BRISTOR ACQUITTED.
Rev. George Il. Brisuor's Second Trial for
Criminal Assault on Ida Downs.

Criminal Assault on Ida Downs.
TIE Rev. George II. Bristor, who has
acted as Pastor of Chesapeake City and
Bethel church. Cecil county, WIS again
placed on the rack of crimIna! prosecu-
tiou on Monday last.
at 10 80 Monday morning Judge Cul-
lens gasel announced the opening of the
special term appointed for the trial OF
the clergy man accused by little Ida
Downs OF the Brooklyn Orphan Asylum
of criminally assauItlng her while in his
employ at the Methodist parsonage.
Spring Valley, in December, 1850 The
court-roum and corridors were Iiled, auu
crowds stood on the broad green lawn
around the court house and on the hotel
piaZZas. At the opening of court BriStor
took a seat at the lawyers table, and
durIng the day took copIous Eotes oi the
proceedings. He was very cheerful all
day. Immediately after the court opened
Mr. Irving Brown of Harerstraw, asso-
ciated with William +. Howe and Judge
Groo tur the defence, moved for an ad
journmr mt until Mr.. Howe's arrival from
New ork III the afternoon. Judge Cul
len ovcrIuled the motion, and the selec
tion of jury began from an extra pane
of 100 men summoned.
Challenges were frequent, but noon
saw seven men 1t the box. After the
noon recess the work proceeded. Three
of the men selected i'll the morning were
excused. In ali there were Ga challenges.

Their Independence gives them inso-

affairs of the household. Then, II the

and embarrassing in the extreme. y
daughter, no matter how well educated
or how independent her circumstances,
knows not whether she is destined to
be the mistress of the household OF
farmer, artisan, merchant or professional
man, or whether she is to direct the al
fairs OF plenty in a splendid mansion,
or to suffer in an humble cot, away
from the busy haunts of commerce. In
either case she should be prepared tor
her situation, and thus be enabled to
bring cheerfulness and prosperity to her
household.
GLOW often is it the case that the
house is left without domestic help, and
there is no resource left but to rely on
the wife? SuCh instances are all around
us, in town and on farms. Again, how
often are we compelled to rely on raw
nands who are totally ignorant OF the
duties of kitchen or laundry, and if the
vile is not capable OF instructlng and
directing, how poor hclpmeet a wo-
man must be who cannot, in such an
emergency, produce the staff ot lite,
and that, too, of a quality to make her
husband prouder OF her than any other
part of her life. There Is but little good
bread in all the private families OF the
country, for the reason that but few
have considered it of sufficient lmpor-
tance to study the science of bread
making. Girls will 60 10 school and
learn hard lessons in science, with
neither ornament nor benefit, and re-
man ignorant of the most important
part of theI life's duties and position.
The Arabs grant divorce for ignorance
in bread making. There is probably as
much misery and as many deaths from
bad bread as from war and yet, intel
ligent women boldly approach the altar
totally ignorant of the important quail
tiCations of the head of family, of a
wife or a mother. \ lack of knowledge
of domestic economy in woman Is a
serious detect, which no amount of cul-
ture in all other branches of refinement
can compensate. 1t is honorable, re-
tining and essential. 1t saves from
many mortifying scenes. Its absence
frequently causes trouble, alienation
and DISASTER

HISTORY often repeats itself. The
kick of a COW caused the destruction
by fire of Chicago. This week the kick
of horse destroyed twenty-one build
ings in a New Hampshire town, and
the next thing we may look for will be
a serious conhagration in Elkton, and
the town without adequate means to
meet it. Last week we had warning
on Main street, and this week we had
another on Church street. And still no
move towards securing a suitable fire
appliance for the needed protection OF
property. Delays are dangerous. Why
not be warned i'll time?

DOMESTIC EDUCATION.

Every day as the little maids and
misses, who are pupils at the Elkton
Academy, pass our cffice door, carry
ing over their shoulders their Jaunty
school bags, wrought with tastety lnl-
tials, and fairly crammed with every
i'm aginable kind, size and description
Of text book on poetry, logic and
science, we wonder whether their
mothers at home are taking the trouble,
to give them those still more impor-
tant lessons in Domestic Economy ana
the art of House Keeping. We need
not expatlate upon this subject, as the
extract which we make upon this point
from one OF the letters from Washing
ton by Mr.. b. p. Poore to the -iWe1I-
caR Cnli1at0r, which has attracted
our attention, presents more graphic
picture upon the subject than we could
offtr.
The writer, in his introduction to
the subject, remarks that ''there is no
one question now requiring the serious
and earnest attention Of all classes of a
community more than true and prac-
ucal knowledge of domestic economy.
A sharp writer has said, while the
Lord sends meat almost with the pro-
fusion of the quails that fed the Israe
ltes, it must be that the devil sends
cooks The want of good, skIlful and
reliable domestic help IS serious one,
and demands the consideration of the
best minds" He then says:
Gone of the indispensables in edu-
cation of girls, whether rich or poor, is
thorough knowledge of household
economy. This embraces wide field.
1t i, scientific and practical know
ledge of the culinary art, the prepara-
ton and preservation OF fruits and con
tections, the care OF the sick, and the
delicate attentions of the nursery, the
operations of the laundry, and ski
tuI use OF the needle as well as the sew
ing machine. To this should be added
d botanical and practical knowledge of
the care of the kitchen and flower gar
den. There is science in bread max
ing, so any daughter should know not
only the process, but the chemistry OF
bread. There are skill and philosophy
in cooking meat, SO 1t should be thor
oughy known by every woman who eX

and consequently its direction and sup
